This very strange nineteenth-century timber sculpture depicts the two-sided relationship Faust famously had with Mephistopheles (to whom, as the Devil’s representative, he had sold his soul to obtain deeper knowledge“) and Margaretta -- to whom, with his heart, he had fallen hopelessly in love.
The picture shows the sculpture with its mirror behind it.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
